I volunteered to help karen out today after I was done with a couple of errands. This is the first time I have ever dealt with someone who has real mental health issues in real life.
She has an eating disorder, she is OCD, She is kind of a hoarder. not bad but I can tell that she could be. I helped her try to organize a room and found that she has lots of half full boxes, plastic bags and plastic utensils. She lives out of boxes...doesn't really have furniture. She has a bed...mattress is on the floor in the living room. She is ordering a zero gravity bed to put in the living room and then we can put her mattress back on the box spring in her bedroom.
I then decided that I would go to the store and buy her some more yogurt and ice cream that she liked so I bought her 3 coconut frozen desert and 2 big containers of yogurt vanilla. I had stopped at walmart to buy some mugs so that we could have tea together but she doesn't have a table so she gave them back to me. I told her that I would keep them at my place for her and that she could come over here for tea sometime. She liked that idea.
